'The Avengers': Stuntman Loses a Chunk of His Scalp on Set

Jeremy Fitzgerald went back to work after catching his foot during a 30-foot fall and slamming his head into a brick.

Stuntman Jeremy Fitzgerald had a big chunk of his scalp lopped off Friday during a stunt on the set of The Avengers.

Fitzgerald was supposed to fall 30 feet off a building for the stunt but caught his foot on the way down, causing his head to slam into a brick. He tells TMZ that his injuries could have been more severe had he landed on a nearby rain gutter.

Fitzgerald was given a bandage for his wound and went back to work. A Marvel spokesperson told TMZ, "[Jeremy] was fine. He slid briefly along the side of the building. He got right back up and did several more takes."
